And they that went before,…. In the company that preceded Christ; for he, as yet, was not come right over against the blind man:

rebuked him that he should hold his peace; being not well pleased that he should call him the son of David, which was acknowledging him to be the Messiah; or that he might not be troublesome to Christ, and retard his journey:

but he cried so much the more, thou son of David, have mercy on me; he neither dropped the character of Christ, nor his request to him; but called out more loudly, and with greater vehemence, earnestness, and importunity: so persons sensible of their need of Christ, and of his worth, excellency, and ability, are not to be discouraged from an application to him, by whatsoever they meet with from men, or devils.

Cried [] . A stronger word than ejbohsen, cried, in the previous verse, which is merely to cry or shout, while this is to cry clamorously; to scream or shriek. Compare Mt 14:23; Mr 5:5; Act 19:28 – 34.

To be brought unto [ ] . Used by Luke alone in the sense of bringing the sick to Christ. He also uses the compound verb prsoagw, which was a common medical term for bringing the sick to a physician, both in that and in other senses. See ch. Luk 9:41; Act 16:20; Act 27:27. ===Luk19

1) “And they which went before rebuked him,” (ksi hoi prosgontes epetimon auto) “And those who went before (or ahead) of him,” (of Jesus), “rebuked him,” the disciples and the crowd scolded Bartimaeus especially, Mar 10:48; Mat 20:31.

2) “That he should hold his peace:” (hina sigese) “In order that he might be quiet,” to try to quiet him down, Mar 10:48; Mat 20:31. Because they did not want him to bother Jesus, or take His time.

3) “But he cried so much the more,” (autos de pollo mallon ekrazen) “Yet he cried out even much more,” louder than before, a great deal more, more passionately, more, earnestly, joined by the other also, or another blind one did similarly, Mat 20:31; Mar 10:48.

4) “Thou son of David, have mercy on me.” (huie David, eleeson me) “You son of David, have pity on me,” or help me, in my plight of blindness, Mat 20:31; Mar 10:48.

(39) They which went beforeviz., those who were in advance of Jesus; probably, if we suppose Mar. 10:32 to represent the usual order, not the disciples, but a portion of the crowd. On the Son of David, see Note on Mat. 9:27.

‘And those who went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace, but he cried out the more a great deal, “You son of David, have mercy on me.” ’

When those in the forefront of the crowds heard him crying out they told him to be quiet. They probably thought that he was begging for alms. But he would not be silenced, and he continued to ‘cry out the more a great deal’, “You son of David, have mercy on me.” Here was one who was persistently seeking to press into the Kingly Rule of God (Luk 16:16) where blind eyes were opened (Luk 4:18; Luk 7:21).

The word for ‘cried out’ here is much stronger than in the previous verse. He has now become desperate. He is fearful of missing this vital opportunity. He might never have the chance again. He will not take no for an answer.

6. Jesus’ second appearance before Pilate 23:13-25 (cf. Matthew 27:15-26; Mark 15:6-15; John 18:39-19:16)

The overall impression that Luke presented with this part of his narrative is that Jesus’ condemnation was a terrible travesty of justice. Pilate condemned an innocent man. This decision comes across as especially heinous since he also acquitted a guilty man. The strong resolve of the Jewish leaders overcame the weak will of the Roman official.
